I don't have anything bad to say about it, really. Joss Whedon movies just are not for me.

I felt like the concept was better than the execution. It's definitely a movie that should be watched among a group of horror fans because the conversations you could have about it's ideas have the potential to be longer lasting and more entertaining than what was on the screen, and in a maybe unconventional way that does make for a really successful movie... if you are so inclined.

If you aren't the type to dissect movies and just like to be entertained for ninety minutes, I'm not sure how you will like it. Probably will, it seems to be favorable for those types too.

If that came off as condescending, it was not meant to be a criticism, a movie that isn't about themes and is just centered in the onscreen narrative is perfectly valid and doesn't mean that it's not a good movie. just an observation that people will like different movies for different reasons._________________The absurd man thus catches sight of a burning and frigid, transparent and limited universe in which nothing is possible but everything is given, and beyond which all is collapse and nothingness. He can then decide to accept such a universe and draw from it his strength, his refusal to hope, and the unyielding evidence of a life without consolation.

I liked Cabin In the Woods. It wasn't like it was the greatest movie of the year, but when all the monsters were let loose, it was pretty entertaining._________________

A way we connect with each other...and I guess thats why I do toys. That connection." -Ashley Wood

Was Lawrence of Arabia included in the set? _________________Observation: Life would be cooler if everyone spoke like HK-47.

I've read the book, but I wasn't a big fan. It was going great until they went to Britannia. I'm picky about my Arthur stories . Bride And Prejudice was pretty good, though. I'm a fan of Bollywood, I love the dancing, but sometimes it does go over the top. BAP is well moderated so it's not as out there (nor as long) as other Bollywood movies._________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar. That doesn't mean I hate or love Lucas, or agree or disagree 100% with him. That doesn't mean I prefer the PT over the OT, or vice versa. That doesn't mean I hate the EU, or even love all of it (or even read all of it). These are not prerequisites. Being a man is not a prerequisite. Being a geek is not a prerequisite. The only prerequisite is that I love something about Star Wars. I am a Star Wars fan.

Well, it has to be better than Iron Man 2._________________All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out.

Just watched a movie called The Last Legion. If you're into the Arthurian legend this is a good movie to catch.

It's a prequel to Arthur. Really a fun movie.

It stars Ben Kingsley, Colin Firth and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the actress from Bride and Prejudice.

If you haven't seen Bride and Prejudice, it's a fun movie and a good intro to Bollywood movies.

I bought The Last Legion several years ago. A really good movie. Haven't read the book though. I have to say my favorite part of the whole movie was at the end when Romulus asks Aurelius "Have I released you from your oath?"; Aurelius shakes his head no and Romulus replies, "Then live, Aurelius Antonius." And, of course, Aurelius calling Romulus "Son of a dragon."
